If you are disabled you have the rights in education and employment.

It is against the law to for employers to discriminate against disabled people. They have to give the person an equal chance of getting the job role; however adjustments have to be made in order for it to be suitable for the person with the disability. For example, adjusting the working hours if they get tired easily or providing you with a special piece of equipment to help you do the job. This avoids the person being put at a disadvantage compared to non-disabled people in the workplace.

It’s against the law for schools to treat students differently due to their condition. For example they can’t exclude them from tasks as they would have to make reasonable adjustments to suit their needs, such as extra support with learning or

The Mental Health Act is the law which sets out when you can be admitted, detained and treated in hospital against your wishes. It is also known as being ‘sectioned’.

For this to happen, certain people must agree that you have a mental disorder that requires a stay in hospital. There you will have an assessment and be given treatment if needed.

This is only done when you are putting your own safety or someone else’s at risk.

You can sometimes be given treatment even if you don’t want it.

There are different sections of the Mental Health Act that have different aims.

You have certain rights under the Mental Health Act, including the right to appeal and the right to get help from an advocate.

Section 117 aftercare is free aftercare that you get once you leave hospital under certain sections.

Sexual Offences Act (2003): Statement for young people

In England and Wales, the law on Sexual Offences has been updated. Under this law, the legal age for young people to consent to have sex is still 16, whether you are straight, gay or bisexual. The aim of the law is to protect the safety and rights of young people and make it easier to prosecute people who pressure or force others into having sex they don't want. Forcing someone to have sex is a crime. Although the age of consent remains at 16, it is not intended that the law should be used to prosecute mutually agreed teenage sexual activity between two young people of a similar age, unless it involves abuse or exploitation. Under the Sexual Offences Act you still have the right to confidential advice on contraception, condoms, pregnancy and abortion, even if you are under 16. M=", �ޅu�H

Sexual offence act

Sexual offence act cover the crimes like:  rape and consent, child sex abuse and prosecutions of person under 18. The first part of act covers sexual offences; second part covers offenders with an emphasis on the protection of vulnerable individuals.

Physical abuse is linked to this because for example rape is physical and sexual abuse. Offender is hurting the victims. Most of the rapes have lethal results, every offender is using violence, and every victim is injured.

Emotional or psychological abuse is also linked to sexual offence act. As we know it can be verbal and noun- verbal. But I linked to this because after rape or any different crimes leave sign in head of victim. Victim will remember this and it’s very hard to forget.

Domestic abuse is as well good idea to link it to sexual offence act, which is because very often partner use sexual abuse as well in this. Domestic abuse is perfect idea to show that bullying, violent behaviour are very often mixed with sexual abuse. That is when for example partner rape or importune.

The Sexual Offences Act became law in May 2004 and aims to clarify what constitutes a
crime of a sexual nature against children, young people and adults. The Act does not
limit children’s right to sex and relationships education and sexual health support and
advice. The Law ensures that those providing information and support with the purpose
of protecting a young person from pregnancy, STIs, protecting their physical safety or
promoting their well being, will not be guilty of an offence.

The human rights act protects the fundamental rights we have as human beings, and allows us to challenge the authorities if they violate them.

I found this information here - (https://www.amnesty.org.uk/issues/Human-Rights-Act?gclid=CMr5yLXnoNACFYYcGwodOWkAgw)

The human rights act can help reduce institutional abuse as it is against the human rights act to imprison someone without them committing a crime. Therefore holding someone, innocent and against their will is illegal.

The human rights act has reduced discriminatory abuse, as everyone’s rights are equal, therefore you should not be treated unfairly because of your gender, race, sex, sexuality.

The human rights act has reduced abuse as a whole across the UK. The human rights act protects us from harm, therefore it has reduced different types of abuse, but mainly emotional abuse. "C
